[Dtb-talk] Is it safe to delete books with the Victor Stream?

[Burke, Dan (DSS)]

I do it all the time with no problems.  What is kind of weird though is
that the Stream leaves the folder on the card, though empty and
unrecognized by the firmware when in the Book Shelf.  So periodically I
put it in a USB card reader and clean it up.

All,

I am wondering if people on this list are having good or bad success at
deleting books on the SD card using the delete function on the Stream.

Over a year ago, when I first got my Stream, I deleted a book, and
subsequently got a card format error both on the Stream and in my PC.
Reformatting the card worked fine.  Since then, I have not attempted to
use
the Stream's delete function as I feared it might be unreliable.

Perhaps my format error was a fluke.  Perhaps I do not need to be so
cautious.  does anyone have experience with this?

Many thanks,
Tom
